So too sum up a rather long thread:

The mounting of the brake disk, is the same for the FZR and FJ 89!? Correct me if I'm wrong.. :-) (see question below)


The FJ (17" non-ABS and '87-'88 FZR1000 share the same bolt pattern on the wheel, but the FZR disc is larger in diameter.

Will be fine.  300mm is really only 1mm larger in radius (distance from axle).

White 88' FZR 1000 rim is now ordered and will arrive in a week or so!  :good2:
Since i have change almost everything on the front part, i might as well change the M/C to go with the new brakelines that's coming up shortly:-)

There a lot of info on M/C on the forum, but is makes me a bit more confused. Quessing personal preference and ride style will decide..

Okey, just another quick question.
Since I allready have Blue dots calipers from an R1, I might as well get an R1 master cylinder to go with them.
But, wil they all fit my handelbar, or just some specific yearmodels

Thanks,  just the awnser i was looking for:-)

I am about to order lines from speigler, and they need to know what m/c would use.
I have seen people refering to 14/16 and 19mm cylider, but im not sure what the mm indicates?

I was also about to order from Spiegler a few weeks back and was a bit shocked at the price.
I ended up getting mine from Venhill for literally half the price and I'm very happy with the product.
At least have a look at them, rather than kick yourself later, and if you still want Speigler at least it's an informed choice.

That number is the diameter of the piston bore of the master cylinder.  The R1 master is 14mm.

Finally, I've got my wheel in today, and a R1 14mm m/c!!  :good2:

The wheel have seen better days I'm afraid, but some sanding, priming and paint would do the trick.
The only thing the dealer forgot to ship, was the wheel assembly or mounting? Not 100% sure on this mecanical language :-)
I can't seem to make up my mind, should i buy new axel,spacer etc for a FJ89 to mount on my Fj89 forks, or should i buy the FZR mounts instead? Since the rim being fzr And all?

Here is a picture of the rim.


I also got a hold of this R1 m/c, damn those things get sold fast! Didn't know they were in such high demand!


After putting the m/c on the bike, i realised that there were no place to screw the reservoir. How have you guys done it?

Ken,

Re: mount for the reservoir..... I made a bracket to go from the upper clamp bolt of the right bar to the urine cup.  Works just fine.

Thanks Arnie.
Will try to make something out:-)
